I see the flash counter in my phone.It indicates "NO" custom binary download and "Samsung Official" current binary.I read from the XDA that <<The Samsung Galaxy S II contains an internal flash counter which is incremented each time a non-stock binary (kernel/rom) is flashed from a computer using Odin>>

My question..why it did not increment the counter eventhough I flashed files from here..is that because those files are Stock and NOT custom binary?

Now I have Baseband version I777UCKH7 and Build number GINGERBREAD.UCKH7.But I am not getting any automatic udpate notifications about install 2.3.6..is that due to my flash back to stock or any specific reason? Why at&t is not automatically detecting that I have 2.3.4 and pushing it ( I know it is good just wanted to understand)

For anyone here if you have time - please visit xda and there is Lot more information ,questions and answers etc to read and understand.I am still new and slowly reading..

Finally a Big thanks to all in the developers community & Entropy512

I believe that package is stock, I don't know - galaxys2root.com is a linkfarm used to make advertising revenue for it's owner. I'm 90% certain he just stole and renamed my original return-to-stock package but I'm not sure. If it didn't trigger the ! warning screen or the flash counter, it must have a stock kernel.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-i777 2.3.6 OTA update now live

Has there been a fix to the 2.3.6 OTA update so it does not decrease the battery life? Havent heard anything on whether or not there is a newer update for the samsung s2. I am one of those that reverted back to the 2.3.4 because the 2.3.6 was a battery hog. Any info on this situation would be helpful.

Not from AT&T - Samsung has released plenty of fixed firmwares for the I9100, but AT&T is holding these updates back.
